"The perfect birthday getaway"

Left on 10/20/2010 for a stay in September 2010 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Oct 20, 2010Stayed Sep 2010

Wooden slats, shutters at the window, a veranda and a traditional white picket fence. When we saw the house of the first time we took a collective intake of breath as it really is a picture postcard a Berkshires house. The garden was beautiful and there were so many lovely touches, such as a water pump and a very comfortable hammock not to mention the patio with two barbecues which we made full use of. And the general surroundings are really quiet with just a small road running by the front of the house. Inside was lovely with a lot of space for dining and just relaxing. We spent most evenings sitting around the log burner. And the bedrooms were very comfortable and beautifully decorated. I personally would recommend staying here, not only because it had the feel of a really cosy family home, but it's very close to lots of great places to visit such as Rudd Lake and Copake. We had a wonderful time

"Berkshire Cottage near Millerton"

Left on 05/01/2010 for a stay in August 2005 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed May 1, 2010Stayed Aug 2005

This is a lovely house, very comfortable with a nice yard and patio where you can grill meals and eat outside.
The location of the house is ideal: it's between Millerton and Hillsdale, both towns with good grocery shopping, wine stores, etc. The house's location is also ideal for exploring the Berkshires; Great Barrington is maybe a 35-40 minute drive away.

"Get Away From it All!"

Left on 04/24/2010 for a stay in August 2009 | Florida girlReviewed Apr 24, 2010Stayed Aug 2009

I enjoyed my stay at Berkshire Cottage last summer. The house is charming and comfortable. When you're there you will wake to the sound of birds, enjoy coffee al fresco on the patio, sit in the hanging hammock on the porch sipping a lemonade, while feasting your eyes on the green, lush yard! Get away from TV, cell phones, and computers for a few days. It's peaceful and lovely, yet not far from swimming, hiking, restaurants, and wineries. I live in sunny -but-flat Florida, so it's a treat for my eyes to view the gorgeous mountains. Love it, love it, love it!

"BLISS"

Left on 04/22/2010 for a stay in July 2009 | Moroccan QueenReviewed Apr 22, 2010Stayed Jul 2009

One week of total relaxation and bliss. Totally uninterrupted by the outside world. The charm of this old farm house gave us the feeling of living in another time. Each room had a unique quality about it. Our greatest enjoyment was sitting on the porch and strolling the paths. Yet, we were able to enjoy a gourmet meal at one of the fine restaurants in the nearby towns. Highly recommend.
